I'm in too for bronze, not feeling quite so confident about it this time though but will see what I get by 15th December. My plan this time is to save everything I make and then at Xmas chuck it into my current account and that should clear my overdraft - but it is only a plan!LBM 03/07 £44k:eek: DFD 31/12/17 :A 12/17 £2545.50

I'll just be adding up everything that comes into the house over and above our normal wages, so that includes ebay, Quidco, matched betting, selling stuff, surveys (I included vouchers last time too), free bingo wins, overtime (I wish!) and anything I can nick! (joking with the last one) (maybe!)
Have we started already?
